The U.S. presidential election of 1968 was the 46th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 5, 1968. The Republican nominee, former Vice President Richard Nixon, defeated the Democratic nominee, incumbent Vice President Hubert Humphrey.

After more than a year out of the ring, on this day in 1994, George Foreman took on the new champ, Michael Moorer, and knocked him out in the 10th round. With the victory, at the age of 45, he became the oldest fighter ever to win the heavyweight crown as well as the boxer with the most time between one world championship and the next. Foreman ultimately retired in 1997 after compiling an amazing 76-5 career record.
